My favorite thing is drums. I have a very, very big memory - and I don't have many big memories - of going to see the movie Tap, with Gregory Hines. During one scene, he's in jail, and there's some water dripping down, and he starts tap dancing. I just like that feeling of: I'm in charge, I can do whatever I want.

I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano

You know, the age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19? I'm up here because of what I write. Obviously, I must know something, or I wouldn't have been nominated for Best New Artist. Sometimes it's like, You're right. My mother wrote these songs.

I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.

I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.

I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.

My mind goes to tragedy first.

I'm a tulip in a cup. I stand no chance of growing up
Fiona Apple

I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.

I don't mind making a fool of myself. I felt like people would be accepting of that because, to me, that seems like an interesting way to do a show. I've always thought that it's interesting to watch people work things out on stage.

The truth is it's fun to be up there and know that you're in your underwear. Even though I know I'm exploiting my sexuality in a certain way, it's fun! It boosts my ego.

As a person who performs on stage, it's good to be emotionally open. If you mess with someone when they are in that state, it's like you're messing with an animal when it's eating.

And if I'm being honest, I don't think I have an ex-boyfriend who would have something mean to say about me.

Sometimes interviews are fun and good conversations, but stuff like photo shoots and appearances at places where you have to meet a lot of people - I was never really made for this kind of stuff.

Be kind to me, or treat me mean I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

Love is love, and there will never be too much.

I can bake. I made myself some nice French fries once. But otherwise I just eat out. Lots of salad bars.

But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism.

If I had a kid, and I had a choice between teaching somebody how to avoid trouble, or teaching them how to get out of it, I'd teach them how to get out of it.

Five years from now I'm probably going to look back on the things I'm doing and cringe.
